The Coordinated Mechanical Associations continue to have robust agendas and their attendees found this year’s conference programs to be particularly useful and topical. – RSI President Tom Simpson.
With over 400,000 square feet of combined indoor exhibit display space, and more than 1.5 miles of combined outdoor on and off-track exhibits, Railway Interchange 2015 was the largest combined railway exhibition and technical conference to date in North America. – REMSA Director of Trade Shows David Soule.
